Clarke's Phaimacy ‘For Complete Drug Service’ Phone TU; 4-1201' Richmond Hill Inaugural Meeting, Markham (Continued from page 1) nexation plans to task stating, "It is quite apparent the town- ship to the south of us is envious of our financial position. They would like to benefit from pro- posed Highway 407 and the rail- way, in the future.” He asked, "Are we prepared to take on any of the expenses of the expansion of Metro?" Then he issued a warning to the ratepayers saying, “If we should be annex- ed by Metro with an offer of reâ€" ceiving better services, we should also consider the other side of the question, are we prepared to assume the responsibilities for any part of the subway. the ex- pressways, widening of Toronto streets,tthe cost of the expansion of their transportation system, their re-habilitation area â€" and their city hall and civic centres?” He warned that if Russia drop- ped one of their new type bombs on Toronto it would destroy all the services for miles around . . and he suggested the newly pro- posed rail line should not be put in its presently proposed location, but, “as a defense measure”, be further north. The deputy-reeve predicted that the salary schedule for town- ship employees would be under review this year, bringing them into line with other municipali- ties. “Their salaries would be tak- en out of politics", he said. Concluding, he reiterated his election speech by saying he would do all within his power to help the reeve bring honour to the township as County Warden for 1960. Councillors Lawson Mumber- son, John MacNeil and S. B. Wat- son all thanked the township em- ployees for their co-operation and teamwork in 1959 and looked for- ward to further progress in the township. Councillor Watson predicted that certain recommendations of last year regarding the clean-up of township abandoned cemeter- ies would be started in 1960. Regarding a fire hall for the Thornhill area he said, “I think it’s high time we had some of our own fire fighting equipment in the township." . Standing Committees Reeve Clark then named the Standing Committees for 1960. The name of the chairman of each committee is given first: Finance, W. Dean, John MacNeil; Roads, L. Mumberson, S. B. Wat- son, J. MacNeil; Police, Mumber- son, MacNeil; Fire, Watson, Dean; Water 'and Sanitation, MacNeil, Dean, Mumberson; Property and Parks, Dean, Watson. 1960 Council Busines During the afternoon session council gave the Township Con- suiting Engineers, H.

During an interview with an insurance company regarding a supplementary pension plan for the township; Council was sur- prised to learn that approxim- ately one‘xthird, or 19 township employees, are not already cov- ered by the present pension plan. A request to insure these em loy- ees was referred back to the in- ance Committee, with Deputy- reeve stating, “It should not be up to council to say whether this -â€" or any other. company -â€" has the go-ahead to take on the in- â€"â€" suring of our employees" How- I P into a A kangaroo walked flashy New York night club and .V ordered scotch and soda. “That’ll Til be $2.00.” the bartender said. ‘ The kangaroo up to him: thing wrong. sir . .

The present town- ship plan, government annuities, does not give the employee the right to take his savings with him when he terminates his employ- ment -â€" it remains in the annui- ties savings until he has reached pension age. The Roads Committee will look into a request for construction of Thornheights Road in the Selkirk Subdivision, on advice of the reeve. Metro Planning Board Rep. Council agreed that it was not advisable to add to the 13 present representatives on the Metro Planning Board, following a let- ter received from Richmond Hill stating they wished to have an- other member on the Metro Board. Stouffville, Markham Village. Markham and Richmond Hill have, until now, had one repres- entative between them, with Councillor W. Anstey of Vaughan acting for them in an emergency. Councillor Mumberson stated, “Let’s keep Mr. Laurin as our rep- resentative and let Richmond Hill do what it wants." Reeve Clark: “As a matter of courtesy let’s arrange a meeting regarding this.” can‘t we just nominate our man and let Richmond Hill look after their own interests". He suggested council send in its resolution regarding Mr. Lau- rin, stating, "If one municipality holds it up there will be no rep- resentation at all." Reeve Clark said he thought they had better get Metro’s reaction. It was then resolved to make Mr. Laurin, Markham Township’s representa- tive and send a copy of the res- olution to the other municipali- ties. Grants For Community Halls Councillor Mumberson moved that the reeve, clerk and town- ship solicitor draw up a resolu- tion regarding grants for com- munity halls and recreation cen- tres, following the reading of a request, in the form of a letter from Tilbury council. The Mun- icipality of Tilbury is calling for a review of community building and arena grants by the provin- cial government and stated in its letter that “the Prime Minis- ter be petitioned to revise grants for the above." Reeve Clark said he would want to study the resolution further. Solicitor Lucas present at the meeting said, “They haven’t got their facts right. Some communi- ties have got grants for the same buildings from the Provincial and Federal governments. This isn’t a new thing, such requests for revision of grants for community centres has been pending for some time. This takes consider- able study." Reeve Clark said that very often communities are led into a building program which they can- not maintain. “They forget the maintenance afterwards is more than the recreation centre cost. It requires a lot of thought," he re- peated. Dog Report “People who value their dogs are keeping them off the streets and roads,” Municipal Dog Offi- cer Ron Herd, told Markham Council when he reported for December at Monday’s meeting. During the past six months there have been 60 summonses issued and 58 court convictions regard- ing dogs he said. He said that 33 per cent of owners claim dogs impounded; 15% of the dogs find homes from the impounding kennels and about 52% of dogs caught running at large are dispatched. In Montreal 98% of dogs impounded are dis- patched, Mr. Herd said. Mr. Herd asked council to con- sider the use of telephone-an- swering service for the kennel during evening and night hours. “When we began this service we stated 24-hour attention . . . and people have taken us literally at our word." Some people 'phone during the night hours to report incidents which could be taken care of during the day, he said. “We are not trying to curtail our services in any way but we do feel the telephone service is being abused, and I would like your Views.” Reeve Clark said, “We are well satisfied with the dog situation and the way it is being handled.” Complaints have dwindled notice- ably to council members, Coun- cillors Watson and Mumberson noted, since the service was in- stituted. Mr. Herd asked council to study the revising of the bylaw re run- ning dogs, in Markham Township.

Roy Pollock, defeated in his bid for re-election as reeve of North Gwillimbury, said that he was the only person left of the 52 names listed in York county council in 1950 before Metro was formed. As last remaining member, he chuckled, he.had a double duty, to wish himself good bye, and also to say fare- well. “So long, old chap, take care of yourself, I’ll meet you somewhere down in the turnip field." he smiled. our! Deputy-Reeve Keith Nisbet, Aurora, said he had enjoyed his two years on county council. and that his successor (Stu Patrick) had been a lifelong friend, and you’ll find him a hard worker.” O I! 3 I Deputy-Reeve Wilfred Aitchi- son, King, brought many chuc- kles to the council with his stor- ies. He paid tribute to the leader- ship of Warden Wm. Hodgson as reeve of King, but said that mun- icipal politics “are like a game of shinny or a game of ball at school, and somebody always has to lose.” O i Q! 0 Reeve Wm.
